It's a great honour to have been elected unopposed by my Parliamentary Liberal Party colleagues as Deputy Leader and sworn in as Deputy Premier. I am excited to continue in my role as Attorney General and Minister for Justice, but now with the added honour of Treasurer.
Having joined the Liberal Party in 1980, I have a deep love for the values of our great party and will continue to strive each day to honour what the Liberal Party stands for.
Tasmania is the best place to live, work and raise a family. Under our Tasmanian Liberal Government and the leadership of Premier Jeremy Rockliff, we are continuing to take action on the things that matter to Tasmanians like cost of living, health and housing.
Remembrance Day in Tasmania is a solemn occasion, bringing together communities across the state to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who served in defence of Australia. Each year on November 11, Tasmanians gather to reflect on the profound impacts of war on families, friends, and the broader community. Remembrance Day not only commemorates those who fell in World War I but also pays tribute to all who have served in subsequent conflicts, preserving peace and freedom. The day serves as a reminder to honour their legacy and the shared values they defended.
This year I will be attending the commemoration in Latrobe with the added importance of unveiling a statue to Teddy Sheean VC, in permanent memorial of his act of immense courage in the face of enemy fire.
To the voters of Lyons, who have placed their confidence in me as their Member of Parliament since 2014, I reiterate my commitment to serving them with the same passion and energy I had when I was first elected.
Thank you for your support, and I’ll keep you updated.
